How Many Bathrooms Do You Really Need? Building
When my dad was a kid, they lived in a two bedroom house
with one bathroom and the family consisted of him, his two brothers and
his mother and father. When I grew up, we have it a little bit better.
We had the same sized family as my father did, but we lived in a
three-bedroom house with two bathrooms.
How many bathrooms do you really need? Think about it. Here's what I
would like to suggest, if you have more money than you know what to do
with and would love to help the economy, then you should put as many
bathrooms as you need in your home.
If you really need to tell your friends, that you have a 250 bedroom
house with 275 bathrooms, and you have the money to pay for it, do it
and knock yourself out. However, if you are building a new home, I would
like you to consider, this question. How many bathrooms do you really
need?
If you want each one of your children to have their own bathroom, then
go for it. It will require more cleaning, more money to build these
bathrooms and is it really necessary.
Here's what I would suggest as a guideline for deciding, how many
bathrooms you really need. One bathroom for two or less people, two
bathrooms for five or less people and three bathrooms for eight or less
people. You could actually add one bathroom for every three people as a
general rule of thumb.
Don't get carried away and start installing bathrooms all over your
house, it doesn't make sense. Bathrooms are expensive and I have been in
the homes, where I was the only person that used at bathroom. Some
bathrooms might not ever be used.
